I'm looking for something to cover the VFR while it's parked in the lot at work. It bakes in the sun otherwise. I've seen some of those covers that kind of cover just the top of the bike, kind of a half-cover, but I have no idea what they're actually called or where to get one.
Not sure what you'd call them, but I have one. Made by GezaGear (http://www.gezagear.com/) and I'm very pleased with it. It comes with a small stuff bag to store it... about 4 inches in diameter and 6 inches long.

edit - Gues I should say that I'm -VERY- pleased with my cover. It's a Pro-Series (about $175). I've owned it for two years, had it on my 600RR and now use it on my VFR. Luckily it fits the VFR well enough to cover the important parts of the bike. What I especially like about it is that I can tow the bike with the cover on it (tow rated to 100mph).

What size do you have on your bike? Large I assume? Fit well? whats your impression. I like the idea of it stretching so it won't blow off, but curious on how much stretching it takes to actually get it on? Thanks.

Well, I actually have a small as I had it on my 600RR first... but really, for a VFR, I would recommend the medium as you would get better coverage. I've towed with the cover on and hit speeds up to 95mph without the cover blowing off or even looking like it might blow off. The stuff stretches amazingly well and keeps it's elasticity very well. Easy to put on the bike and remove. The thing fits like a glove. If this one ever wears out (had it for two years and still looks brand new) I'll definitely purchase another one.
I also have the Nelson-Rigg and really like it. It folds up into its included fanny pack, and is very easy to put on and off -- more so than a regular cover.
